| | Vista Home Premium on XP Pro network won't print I have an existing Windows XP Pro wireless network, and just recently purchased a Vista home Premium laptop. I added the lap top to the network and all works well. Then I tried to add a printer to the laptop, it added, and can be seen on the network. When I try to print a test page, it does not print and the printer on the laptop shows error, but has no error code. Help |

Help get the latest Vista drivers from the printer mftr.'s website and install them on the Vista machine? Your error indicates incorrect drivers.
